Ansel Adams seamlessly fused extremes of smoothness and ruggedness in “Mt. McKinley Wonder Lake, Denali National Park, Alaska, 1947.” Transforming simple black and white photography into an intricate art, Adams (1902 – 1984) expertly blended contrasting textures, forms, shadow and light. An adamant environmentalist, Adams used his photos to raise awareness about preserving nature’s beauty, and served as a Sierra Club Director.

This art print carries the embossed Authorized Edition seal of the Ansel Adams estate.
